    French onion soup
    Kwame S.

    I'll admit that I only stopped by this TGI Fridays because I had an hour or so to kill before running my next errand. The restaurant has all the makings (brand-wise) for a TGI Fridays; however, there were a couple of things that made this a subpar experience compared to my other TGI Fridays experiences. I'll start with the good. While service was a bit slow, I thought the bartender that waited on me was super nice. I have a feeling that service was a bit slow because there was a few large parties, and the restaurant appeared to be short-staffed. I think I waited about 10-15 minutes before the bartender took my order. When I arrived, I sat at the bar for a while and did not see the bartender. So I went to the restroom figuring that I could pee and wash my hands while waiting for the bartender to return (who knows maybe she returned and left while I was in the restroom). I came back out and still had to wait for about 10 minutes for some assistance. I thought the prices were comparable to other similar restaurants in the area. Things that could have been better: 1. I visited on a Saturday night, and temps were in the low 40s F. Unfortunately, I think there was little to no heat on in the restaurant. Normally, this would not be a huge problem, but the bar is situated right next to the double doors. Also, folks would hold both set of doors open at the same time while entering and leaving the restaurant. I guess the latter is more of an issue with the customers and less on the restaurant. 2. During my visit, I was sadden to learn that the bar did not have ANY draft beers available. I could understand the restaurant not having 1-2 draft beers in stock, but not having ANY seemed a bit strange. Perhaps, the restaurant was having some technical issues. 3. I ordered a cup of French onion soup and a side of fries. I thought the fries had way too much salt + other seasons, which made them pretty inedible.

    Ad does not say only pasta can be ordered.

    Friday, October 17, 2025: Last 2 visits were a disaster. Our previous visit (September 18, 2025) was for National Cheeseburger Day. The gluten-free roll was inedible and the burger was so salty that I asked for it to be remade without the roll and on a bed of lettuce. The burger was raw and inedible that I could not finish my meal (see below). Fast Forward to today: There was a BOGO for National Pasta Day. We read the flyer carefully and it did not specifically say that we had to order pasta. I am allergic to wheat and would not have been able to eat Pasta of any kind! We asked the waitress who insisted that we "had to order pasta!" We asked to speak with the manager. We were not rude or defensive, but the waitress made a snarky comment about our asking for assistance from the manager every time that we come in! We used to really like this waitress, but as time went on, she has become bossy, authoritative and rude. The manager came out and said that she had tried to put in non-pasta dishes and the application would not let her do so. She admitted that the ad was misleading and that this was a common occurrence and that these email ads were written poorly. She was very apologetic and was very nice to us, saying that the waitress had been inappropriate and that she would speak with her. Even though we could have used points for our meal, we left and will probably end our relationship with Fridays. We don't want to change the times that we go to a restaurant to avoid an inappropriate employee. Rather, we will go where we can get good and polite service along with good food.

    Fish & Chips
    Missy B.

    We were in town the night before my husband's heart procedure at the nearby Adventist HealthCare at White Oak Medical Center. Stayed at the closest hotel. Trying to find a place to eat dinner the night before. Have to say, I was skeptical because the reviews for this place were terrible. However, we were pleasantly surprised! Yes, like a lot of places, the server had many tables to wait on, but we were not in a rush. We are not "those people" that start complaining if the server doesn't run up to our table to get a drink order as soon as we sit down. We got the appetizer pretzel bites and they were delicious. Really hot. Cajun shrimp and chicken pasta was delicious. My husband said his fish and chips were really good too. He ordered the fish slightly extra crispy. I got the peach sangria drink, and it was also really good! There was quite a lot in the glass, as opposed to most places where you get nothing but all ice. If I lived in this area, I would definitely come back.

    ONLY at this location! ONLINE it said "ALL DAY". Poor customer service! "Franchise" version
    Rebecca F.

    Beware: this location is out for your money!!! Went for ALL DAY Free Meals for Teachers on Tuesday, May 7, 2024 as advertised ONLINE! This location printed out their own advertisement that said the free meal for teachers was from 3pm - 7pm. (Conveniently during Happy Hour only???) They just wanted our money!!! The staff was anything but helpful and said "That's corporate but this is a franchise." in response to seeing the photo. When we asked to speak to the manager, the bartenders went to the back of the restaurant to talk to patrons not to look for the manager. The ambiance was extremely loud with music blasting. You had to yell to the people sitting next to you in order to have a conversation!

    Whiskey-glaze burger
    Nicole J.

    I've been ordering delivery from this location for the past year and I always get the Signature Whisky-Glaze Burger with French fries. I'm always pleased with my burger and unlike a lot of places, they actually cook it to the temperature ordered and don't overcook it (too much). Sometimes the portion of French fries can be a bit skimpy but this order was sufficient and I enjoy their garlic flavor. They forgot to include a utensil set and the extra whisky glaze sauce I ordered and this has happened a few times in the past. I advise calling to make sure extra sauces or condiments, especially ones that are paid for are included in the bag because they tend to forget.

    Pre-ordered the $28 Friday Feast for pickup at 1pm on weekday more than one hour ahead. Arrived around 1:02pm, but nobody at the front desk. Walked up to the bar, and saw a staff serving two small groups there. Went around the aisle, and saw one table of patrons. I saw our bag of lunch waiting on the shelf, but did not want to go in to fetch it. After eight or so minutes of waiting, someone finally came out to hand over our bag of food. The Pan Seared Pot Stickers were still warm and well cooked. The Caesar Salad with Chicken met expectation. The Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken was tasted average. The ice cream had begun melting. The Brownie Obsession was topped with chocolate syrup.

    You never know what you are going to get from a hotel…read morerestaurant. PrimeTime is a 5 star experience based on its menu and service. Nice atmosphere with many tables.

We ordered the Fresh Rye Bread that hit the spot and finished with good Bread Pudding. Everything was spot on! I have done a review on the College Park Hotel Cambia that houses PrimeTime.

She was a ray of sunshine and gave us help in deciding on menu items. We both ordered salads. I ordered the crab and shrimp Louis salad. And, my friend ordered a chicken salad. Our salads were huge, fresh, and delicious. I really liked the fresh veggies and poached shrimp. I also liked the surprise sprinkle of Old Bay on my seafood. I wasn't a fan of the crabmeat. The dressing was delicious too. My friend liked her chicken salad. She did say her chicken was a little dry. But, she loved all of the fresh veggies and ended up taking the leftovers home. I also ordered the Oreo cheesecake which was delicious. I mean come on now, you combine Oreo's and cheesecake, that is a winning combination and the whipped cream was amazing. The restaurant itself was bright, colorful, and full of sea themed decor. The booth was comfortable and you get 3 hours of free parking in the garage. Again, thanks Fatima for your excellent service. We will definitely be back.

It was good to be back there to write this review to help businesses there .

But I recently applied for positios there host and food runner , But never heard back. I wish they management there would guve me and irhers chances there to show what we can do without Judgment, Fear , And Bad Politics used against me and others. The past rule books dont wirk anymore and its time to play tukngs new outgoing friendly and more . Things have not always been grwat since the pandemic thatsvwhybthe old tile book doesn't work anymore. This place always has great hospitality and more 8ts time t show thatvine again.

I've visited a few times over the years and I was glad to see they expanded their food menu somewhat recently to include sandwiches, bowls, and wings. They have a large indoor area plus a large outdoor patio. Service is basic; you order via your phone and they drop off the items.

Ordering food and drink from any of the many tables inside is super convenient. Each table has its own QR code that you can scan, to bring up their menu on your phone. Once an order is placed, the food and drink come out very quickly, and a running tab will be kept until you choose to close it.

It wasn't obvious to me, as a first time customer, that you have to get your silverware and napkins from a station a elsewhere in the large room, but luckily, I had overheard someone else commenting on that before my food arrived. The only possible problem might be parking on busy nights. For example, on this night, a concert was going to start nearby; the dinner crowd was larger than usual, and more parking spots in the area were taken. Other than that, food and drink are very enjoyable here, and I'd certainly come back if I'm in the area again.
